Default **FOR SALE** 96 A6 San Fran., CA

my brother is selling his A6, let me know if this strikes an interest to some of you.

Based on Kelly Blue Book (www.kbb.com), here's the lowdown on the A6:
1996 Audi A6 Sedan 4D
Engine: V6 2.8 Liter
Trans: Automatic
Drive: Quattro AWD
Mileage: 25,000
Equipment:
Air Conditioning, Power Steering, Power Windows, Power Door Locks, Tilt Wheel, Cruise Control, AM/FM Stereo, Cassette, Dual Front Air Bags, ABS
(4-Wheel), Leather Dual Power Seats, Sliding Sun Roof, Premium Wheels.
Exterior: Silver
Interior: Black Leather
Interior Instrument Cluster/Lighting: Amber Red

Retail Value $20,350

The amount quoted is based on condition of the vehicle. The 96 Audi A6 was purchased in August 1996, and has extremely excellent mileage (20,500)
for a six year old car; never been in an accident; promt maintenance under scheduled service appointments; excellent electrical and mechanical operations; smooth powertrain with good acceleration; good working brakes; exterior (minor skid marks on bumper) and interior are in great condition (clean, polish regularly); vehicle is bone-stock, no modification performed.

note: 20k is starting price, reasonable offers will be consider. serious inquries please. email me if interested (terence_chang@hotmail.com), i will also check back here. thank you.

Default No offense, but no way in hell is he gonna get $20k...

Given every option and quattro that was available on a '96 A6 in Outstanding condition...the best price (Dealer Retail) is $16k, Private Party is $14k, and Trade-In is $13k. (source: Edmunds)
KBB has a Private Party value of $18k...KBB overestimates severely...KBB sets a point where banks are willing to loan that amount for a car.

Typically, a private party sale can usually be made somewhere in between the listed Trade value and the listed Private Party value. A dealer would actually probably give only about $10k.

Good luck to him in finding someone who will pay $20k...but methinks the KBB is outdated or something.

Back it up $5k and then you might get -some- interest. Sorry.

I never use KBB anymore... Edmunds is MUCH more realistic.

Default Black Book value: (what dealers use)

X-clean Clean Average RGH
$15150 14350 11950 8750

As a rule of thumb.. they (dealers) never pay above average for a use car... this is whole sale price. Then they mark it up to KKB or Edmund value.

Default Thank you for inputs.

thanks. well, now that i have a better idea, i will inform my bro; perhaps he should seriously consider dropping the price.

so lowering the price to at least 5k off, aside from this forum, where do you recommend to post/advertise for the sale?? know anyone interested in a 96 A6?
